Hear what newly crowned WBA welterweight champion 'Sugar' Shane Mosley had to say after defeating Antonio Margarito last night in Los Angeles!
“This was my night. People came out here to the Staples Center and they witnessed a great fight. We knew Margarito was going to be a tough fight and we fought our butts off. We had a strategy going in to the fight and we executed it well.”
“I knew he was going to come forward and I knew he would walk in to my punches. It wasn’t a difficult plan for me to execute, because while Margarito fights very hard, he only fights one way. Not just anyone can beat him. He’s a great warrior and a great champion. To beat him you need to be a special fighter.”
“I have a big left hook that not a lot of people give me credit for. I landed it tonight, and it was also a punch I caught Fernando Vargas and Ricardo Mayorga with. I have a very hard left hook. I think I softened Margarito up a bit with the body shots. I am a big welterweight too, and I have great hand speed and good power in both hands.”
“I always go for the knockout. When fans come to see ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley, they know that it’s going to be a great fight. This one was a great fight, because Margarito was going for the knockout too.”
“I was very excited at the end and knew I had to attack him while he was still buzzed. I thought to myself that I had to go after him. I knew that he was going to fight back hard because he’s a warrior and that’s how all us California fighters do.”
“I love fighting at the Staples Center, and I feel like my statue should be out there out front along side Oscar’s. We’re all part of a team at Golden Boy Promotions, along with Bernard Hopkins.”

Margarito a fluke? I don’t think so. He just got legitimately beat by a great hall-of-fame boxer. Shane came prepared and readied. I’m sure he closely studied Margarito’s stlye, and victory over Cotto. Shane was absolutely the better fighter. But, that certainly doesn’t mean Margarito was a fluke.
